Collect 2023

QEST is excited to return to Collect in 2023 with work by scholars who take inspiration from the natural world. Featured makers use wood, semi-precious stones, silk, hemp, willow, natural pigments and more to craft elegant, striking and sometimes thought-provoking pieces that celebrate the beauty, fragility and potential of these natural materials. Others look to natural phenomena – biological, geological, astronomical – to inform their designs.

Exhibiting makers are: QEST Hedley Foundation Scholar Shelley Anderson, QEST Winch Design Scholar Max Bainbridge, QEST Tom Helme Scholar Joy Bonfield-Colombara, QEST Jenifer Emery Scholar Abigail Booth, QEST Scholar Rachael Colley, QEST Scholar Mandy Coppes-Martin, QEST Scholar Jacqueline Cullen, QEST Scholar Elly Glossop, QEST Scholar Rauni Higson, QEST Scholar Joanna Manousis, QEST Scholar Kayo Saito and QEST Howdens Scholar Patrizia Sascor.
